In the sixteenth century, the English Man of War was a new kind of weapon that allowed Britain to rule a vast empire. Over 200 feet long, it had three masts and could carry up to 124 guns: 4 at the front, 8 at the back, and 56 on each side. All these guns required three cannon decks to hold them. Question What can the reader infer from this paragraph? A. The English had a large navy. B. The Man of War was a warship. C. Cannons take up a lot of room. D. Tiny Britain ruled a vast empire.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A tells us they have a large navy, but the paragraph says nothing about a navy. B says the man of war was a warship which it does say C it says cannons take up a lot of room... thats pretty redundant D just says that tiny britain ruled a vast empire... doesn't really say that in the paragraph SO it's safe to say that the answer should be B

Mark thought it was strange that Molly left Linda’s party without saying good-bye to him, especially since they’d come together. The next week he called her every day and left messages on her voicemail, but she did not respond. She had never done that before. At a basketball game after school, he saw her talking on her cell phone and thought it would be a good time to catch her and dialed her number. She did not pick up the call, and it went to voicemail again. That Saturday he drove by her house with his mother on the way to the store, and there was Molly holding hands with Rob Becker. Mark felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. What can the reader infer from this paragraph? A. Molly likes Rob Becker because he plays basketball. B. Molly's parents have given her a strict curfew. C. The voicemail on Molly's cell phone isn't working. D. Mark and Molly have been boyfriend and girlfriend.

Wilson wanted to see the monument but had not anticipated the long set of steps to the terrace where the statue stood. Looking at the steps, his first thought was to wonder if he could do it. Without thinking, he rubbed his chest. The surgeon had said he needed to be careful about the amount of effort he exerted, at least in those first few weeks. Glancing at his wife, he could see that she was doubtful. “Come on, we can take the elevator,” she said. “No,” he said, “I’m too young for that. We can rest if we need to. My heart will never get stronger if I don’t exercise.” Which of the following can the reader infer from this passage? A. Most monuments have too many steps. B. Wilson and his wife are out of shape. C. Wilson has recently had heart surgery. D. Wilson's wife thinks he is lazy.
